Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 9:28-36

Luke 9:28-36. It came to pass about eight days after Including the day on which the discourse, recorded in the preceding chapter, was delivered, and that on which the fact, here mentioned, took place: otherwise, exclusively of these two days, it was six days after, as Matthew has it. See the following account of our Lord’s transfiguration, explained at large in the notes on Matthew 17:1-8, with some additional observations on Mark 9:2-10. Moses and Elias, who appeared in glory Like... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 9:28-36

75. The transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-13; Mark 9:2-13; Luke 9:28-36)Jesus’ transfiguration took place on a high mountain, possibly Mount Hermon, which was not far from Caesarea Philippi. The event was a revelation of Christ’s glory and was witnessed by only three chosen apostles. In coming into the world as a human being, Jesus had laid his divine glory aside, but now it reappeared briefly through a human body. It gave an indication of the glory he would receive after he had finished the work... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 9:35

And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him.The voice must be identified as that of the Father himself who spoke to Jesus three times during his ministry in the same audible manner as here, namely, at the baptism, during Jesus' prayer at the last public discourse (John 12:28), and here. That the voice was primarily for the benefit of the apostles appears in the use of the third person, and also in the content of the message.Hear ye him ... All divine... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 9:34-35

Luke 9:34-35. There came a cloud,— A bright cloud, St. Matthew calls it, Mat 17:5 and St. Peter, the excellent glory, 2Pe 1:17 whence we conclude, that it must have been the Shechinah, or visible symbol of the divine presence; as is evident also from the words that came out of the cloud, which were the words of God himself; This is my Son, the Beloved, hear him. The voice uttering these words just as Moses and Elias disappeared, intimated that men were no longer to hearken unto them, speaking... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:1-50

G. Jesus’ preparation of the Twelve 9:1-50In this last major section describing Jesus’ ministry in and around Galilee (Luke 4:14 to Luke 9:50), Luke stressed Jesus’ preparation of His disciples for the opposition that lay before them. This was the climax of Jesus’ ministry in Galilee, and these events formed a bridge to Luke’s unique major section on Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51 to Luke 19:10).Previously Luke recorded Jesus teaching and authenticating His teaching with miracles mainly... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:14-50

IV. JESUS’ MINISTRY IN AND AROUND GALILEE 4:14-9:50Luke commenced his account of Jesus’ public ministry with His return to Galilee following His temptation. This section of his Gospel ends with Jesus’ decision to leave Galilee for Jerusalem and the Cross (Luke 9:51). Luke did not give as much information about Jesus’ Galilean ministry as the other synoptic writers did (cf. Matthew 4:12 to Matthew 16:12; Mark 1:14 to Mark 8:26). He chose, rather, to emphasize Jesus’ ministry as He traveled from... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:28-36

5. The Transfiguration 9:28-36 (cf. Matthew 17:1-8; Mark 9:2-8)This event is a climax of the "identity of Jesus" motif in all the Synoptics. Here three disciples saw and heard who Jesus really was. Luke’s particular emphasis was the sufferings of Jesus that were coming. This comes through in his description of Jesus’ conversation with Moses and Elijah (Luke 9:30-31) and his interpretation of what the heavenly voice said (Luke 9:35). The whole scene recalls God’s appearance to Moses on Mt. Sinai... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:35

For a second time God spoke from heaven identifying Jesus as His Son (cf. Luke 3:22). God’s words here also show that Jesus was God’s obedient Son and that He possessed divine authority. The words recall Psalms 2:7, Isaiah 42:1, and Deuteronomy 18:15. Thus this divine vindication identified Jesus as the Son of God, God’s chosen Servant, and the eschatological Prophet."Our culture desires to assemble a religious hall of honor from as many religious traditions as possible, all in honor of our... read more
